Rolling Stones -Honored in London

Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood made a rare awards-show appearance Tuesday night in London at the JAZZ FM Awards ,where the band took home awards for Album of the Year for Blue and Lonesome, as well as Blues Artist of the Year.

In accepting the honors, Jagger said, “We started off a very long time ago in London trying to play clubs, and those clubs were jazz clubs. We used to try and play these jazz clubs and they used to kick us out for playing blues. So this sort of feels full-circle.”

Charlie Watts took home three awards, as he was honored with the Jazz FM Gold Award in recognition of his contribution to jazz and blues.

Van Morrison was also there to present a lifetime-achievement award to his former bandmate, British rhythm and blues and jazz singer Georgie Fame.
